Greeting friends old and new.
For those who have endured my process, thank you. For those new to my page, I write to heal myself, and I hope it may heal others. My topics range from poems to the personal development disciplines I use, to the truth about my past failures and triumphs. This page is my ETC(experimental threshold crossing).
I have been on a long journey the past 10 years, and I fall upward some days and fall back others. This is the path I choose, or the Soul chooses for me.
So take my ink, thick like my blood
Ooze onto the page as I feel the rage
Take it all, my dear Soul
I have no one else to bleed for.
This piece is a soot-clearing practice, as I have a severe aversion to an upcoming trip. I write my way through for now, as it is all I can do, and my truth is all I can offer myself and you.
Thank you for reading.
Mother
As a child, you were there as you should have been
Who was there for you?
I was a child, and I did not know
I only saw what a babe in the woods sees, not really true
As a child, you were there as you should have been
Who was there for you?
As an adult jaded by fate, I can see it’s true
You had no one to hold a healing space for you
As an adult jaded by fate, I should have been there for you.
I was a child and did not know
I only saw what a babe in the woods sees, not really true
I will take flight.
I made a promise I will not break
Aversion sharp!
This place, this place I never felt called to go
A grimy, dark land of old fog thick in my mind’s eye, only this is true
I will take flight.
I made a promise I will not break
Taking you home to where you felt true
A home I have never seen, may I find you there among old ghosts
Still a babe in the woods, you laugh, this is true
Taking you home, my mother.
A weathered flame burned out, wick
scattered to the wind of old ancestors waiting for you.
